. 60 ml Bourbon whisky

. 20 ml sugar syrup
. 20 ml egg whites

Deepak Koranga

Method
Pour all the measured-out ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry-shake, which is essentially done to give the cocktail an airy and foamy mouthfeel. Once you dry-shake your cocktail, you can shake it with ice. Pour the cocktail into an old-fashioned glass. Pour the red wine in a cocktail spoon and gently drop it over the surface of the drink, just enough for it to float on top of the drink. Garnish with a slice of star fruit.
